Will Deadpool & Wolverine save the Marvel Studios slump? Disney boss Bob Iger says it'll be the biggest MCU movie "in a long time"
  • But I don't want another biggest movie. Wish they could keep'em small, constrained, cheap, and focused.

  • What family sayings did you think was universal?
  • You might already heard this one but I didn't learn until a relatively recent internet meme that its only here in Norway that something being "complete texas" means its completely chaotic and messy.

    Also I'm using "what the fir forest" ("hva i granskauen") as a replacement for "what the hell" and I have no idea where I've picked it up.. Nobody else around me do, not even family. Works just as fine though against pain and annoyances.

  • What did people do before smartphones to pass the time when you were bored?
  • Dream about the day we could install Windows on our cell phones and carry our computers with us everywhere. And play snake on our dumb phones.

  • Pantheon
  • I loved it, from start to end. It gets a bit out there at the end though, some people might get disappointed.

  • "Working with Gen AI" by Dandytoon
  • Its doing pretty well when its doing a few words at a time under supervision. Also it does it better than newbies.

    Now if only those people below newbies, those who don't even bother to learn, didn't hope to use it to underpay average professionals.. And if it wasn't trained on copyrighted data. And didn't take up already limited resources like power and water.

  • Open source Git repo owners with open licenses, how do you know your code is being used by a big corpo?
  • Or YOU could hack the company by stressing him about bugs and offer your help to fix them.

  • Two guys walk into a bar...
  • So... Roll for initiative then?

  • Two guys walk into a bar...
  • Are you really bringing politics into MY bar?

    Good, it could need some. *Hangs up a rainbow flag to make the bar easier to spot AND to piss off anyone who thinks "politics has no place on bars".*

  • Two guys walk into a bar...
  • Someone should move that bar before anyone get hurt.

  • When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?
  • Got free-running vision after enough Mirrors Edge. Not literally painted red, but might as well been.

  • YouTube has now begun skipping videos altogether for users with ad blockers
  • Of course they dont. Not a chance with that much video added every hour. Also everything gotta be automated. And in favor of those who can make the most legal trouble. And thats companies, not the many various smaller IP-owners.

    Just rubs me the wrong way that only Google are finding this business worth it. None of the other companies, even with massive amounts of storage and cdn infrastructure, are able to compete for long.

  • YouTube has now begun skipping videos altogether for users with ad blockers
  • Microsoft could have done it if storage was all. They got the infrastructure, the tech, cdn infrastructure , and even had a lot of big business customers already using Azures media streaming services. Instead they are withdrawing.

  • SerenityOS: A 90's inspired Operating System written from scratch
  • 90s?! Does it have a login screen with a fat guy mocking me if I didn't say the magic word? Or a hidden π link i can click on to bypass authentication?

  • Danish PM calls for 15+ age limit for social media in EU
  • I wholly support the idea of kicking corporations off social media.

  • YouTube has now begun skipping videos altogether for users with ad blockers
  • The biggest drain is the copyright fights, I'm guessing. Defending against and pleasing every big company with an interest.

  • What 16th century Ottomans thought Europe looked like on top of an actual map of Europe
  • It was a mess up here, yeah! My home county, Telemark, was just a white spot with a lake in the middle on most maps at that time.

    Since the Middle Ages, and when Norway was first mapped in the 17th century, Telemark had only been a white spot on the map, that is to say, no so-called learned person had traveled through the region, and the area was mostly unknown to people in the cities and along Coast. The Telemark farmers had a reputation for being quarrelsome and 'bloodthirsty' and would not go out of their way to kill both priest and bailiff if it suited them. The hand ax was in frequent use and the knife was loosely in the sheath!

    Jeez.

  • Have you ever seen yourself on a CAPTCHA?
  • Click on all the squares containing a human weak spot.

  • Mozilla confirms it will add Tab Groups, Vertical Tabs, Profile Management to Firefox
  • Hope we get a mouseover sidebar expansion too, like edge has for its vertical tabs.

  • AI chatbots’ safeguards can be easily bypassed, say UK researchers
  • Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

  • Environment effects!

    Hey, remember that mission in Mass Effect 3, I think.. Where you meet Tali and have to move from shadow to shadow to let the suit cool down between sun exposure? Or Chronicles of Riddick, where they had to get in cover before sunrise or get disintegrated by extreme sun radiation? Or Pitch Black, where some very aggressive animals came out at night? Jedi Knight Academy with its acid rain and having to cover under rocks while shield recovered?

    I love Starfield so far, but the suit exposure and suit protection gone warning that barely have a consequence was a bit unimpressive. I was hoping for some kind of game mechanics to it. Instead I just dont care anymore, I just stay away from gas pockets and pop some medicine to fix random unavoidable afflictions as I go. Nobody cares if a suit has slightly less or more chance to get one affliction or the other. The beeping sound from suit protection is barely audible anyway (is there a problem with my sound?). And protection either last infinite or is gone within seconds. And doesnt seem to be related to actual temperature (or wind, or atmosphere).

    I hope someone eventually mods in some cooler effects and consequences.

    How about an Icewind Dale sequel?

    Or at least an IWD sequel in spirit: A game in the same engine as BG3, taking place in Forgotten Realms, but with a more linear main story and you create your entire party. Not that I dont enjoy having companion stories but I do also enjoy a simple dungeon crawler RPG.

    Solasta is of course a good but less shiny alternative. I'm probably going back there when I tire of BG3.

    PSA: Dont put your gold in pouches

    Or in any other type of container. They bug out. One day they just decide to not stack with other gold. Or not be counted, nor retrieved on the barter balance button, it says you have no money despite there being a nice stack of thousands of gold. It is possible to manually drag the gold to the barter inventory, though.

    From what I can read on reddit, this is a known issue. Common fixes are stuff like dropping the money on the ground and pick it up again. Or splitting the stack to get the money out of that corrupted stack. I cant confirm any of those because I went for the fix of spending every ounce of gold, but havent had chance to check with a trader yet if my new stack of gold is uncorrupted.

    Hiding the vote buttons

    Sync for reddit used to be able to hide the vote buttons too on the cards and comments. I nearly never use the downvote button anyway, so hiding it in the 3-dot meny prevented me from misclicking it. I usually only showed the upvote and save button.

    I'm not entirely sure where to post suggestions, so I post it here. Maybe get some feedback on who else would(n't) want it.
